Top 10 Best Power Banks For International Travel: Ultimate 2018 List

Backpacking through Europe or Asia may make it difficult for you to settle in one place for long enough to charge your laptop, phone or tablet.

Power banks are one of the essential travel products for international travel, especially those who don’t want to sit still in one place for too long.

We’ve checked out tons of power banks, and have concluded that the following 10 are the best ones you could choose from when shopping online.

KOJOTON 16000mAh Portale Solar Charger

This is the power bank you pick if you’re going camping in the middle of nowhere. The single crystal 1.2W solar panel in the KOJOTON 16000mAh Portale Solar Charger means you don’t need a power outlet to recharge it.

The manufacturer made it user friendly for different situations. You can use the built in LED light as a torch or to send SOS signals over a long distance. It caters for all your devices as well, since you can pick the USB port most suitable:
-A 5V/1A that’s applicable to Smartphones
-The 5V/2.1A that’s powerful enough for tablets

All of this is encased in a shell that protects against water, dust and shock. It even has a handy hook so you can easily hang it wherever you need it.

Jackery Mini 3350mAh Portable Charger

This is one of the smallest units we placed on this list. However, its size of 0.9” x 0.4” x 0.9” is only one of the reasons you’ll love it.

The Jackery Mini 3350mAh charger is ideal to pop in your bag or even your pocket when you travel. It’s small enough to fit in your hands, but just because it’s small, don’t think it doesn’t have impressive features.

The 3350mAh power capability is strong enough to give most Smartphones and even tablets a complete charge.

Just note that your purchase doesn’t include the Apple Lightning Charging Cable.

The unit itself also recharges fast which helps if you won’t be in your hotel room for long.

It will also protect itself and your devices with its Overcharge and Overvoltage Protection features. The exterior is made of aluminum strong enough to withstand hard handling that’s inevitable when traveling.

This Jackery Bar 6000mAh Pocket-sized external battery pack has a torch feature so you can find your way in the dark.

Use the light as guide to plug in your phone to the 6000mAh battery.

You can recharge most mobile phones more than once and an iPhone 8 even 2.4 times.

That’s a lot of power for such a small device. At 1.8” x 3.8” x 0.9” it easily fits in your hand and weighing only 5.5oz you’ll find it comfortable to carry if you need to carry it while charging your phone.

It won’t ever damage your phone because it automatically shuts down when the device is fully charged.

The device itself takes seven to 10 hours to recharge, which is a bit long, but this is still a worthwhile purchase if you can carry so much power in such a small unit.
